MAI. CONELL'S DEATH.
4 Brief History Of tho Late Superintendent
of the Unmucy Asylum.

| of the Rnmucy Asylum.
Mai. John c. Covell, late Superintcn'
dent of the State Blind, Deaf and Dumb
ASYLUM, at Romney, Hampshire county,
of whose death mention was made in the
TELEGRAPH columns OF the REGISTER yester'
dav. was born in New York state, and toI

close, he held the position of Principal OF
the Virginia Deaf and Dumb Asylum at
Stanton, Va.
After the war he was for some reason
dispIaced and ceased To teach. Some fiji
teen or sixteen years ago, shortly alter the
establishment OF the institution at Rom
new, he was elected Superintendent, and
has held the position continually ever
since. Col. Robt. White, who was mem
Der of the Board of Directors at that time,
presented his name, and it was principally
through his efforts that Mr.. Covcll secured
the position, and it has since been shown
to have been wise selection.
The deceased was 4 man of extraordinary
executive ability ~ far aS conducting the
asylum is concerned, and he had com
pletc control and management of the in
stitutiOn, which WAS kept in the finest
condition. He had everything under his
prtsonal supervision, and having been II
teacher Of deaf mulrS all his life, and i
highly educated man, success followed
and under his supervision the institution
grew. The building has been greatly en-
larged and improved in various ways, the
school has grown in numbers and been sue
ccssiully managed.
Mai. COycll married a Miss Estridgc,
daughter of an old and distinguished
family OF Staunton, by whom he became
the father of two daughters, both of whom
are now married. He was about sixty
years of age and his wife still survives him.
Although fond ot society, Maj. Coveil
devoted his whole time and attention Ia
the duties of his position, and his loss will
he a blow not only to the institution, but
10 the State at large, and his place will he
hard to ill. The funeral will take place

of the West Virginia Central Railroad, were

they were looking over the route with
n view Ia the extension of their road up the
valley. Ii is no longer Il secret that the
road will De extended from the mouth of
Black Fork, 10 which point it will soon he
completed, by the most practical route Ia
Charleston. The Valley way is regarded
most iavorahly by the company, and If the
right Of way can I've secured there is little
doubt that the road will he built through
the Valley.
